recøde: Innovation – Transformation – Mindset offers a game changing approach to value creation in the 21st century through innovation and transformation and therefore offers the means to rewrite the playbook for value creation. This book, with an emphasis on big ambition, small steps — explores how one needs to devise new games, establish new rules, and examines a common scenario that many people tend to forget — the one that assumes that all the planned scenarios are wrong.
Global Financial Markets are undergoing secular change — some would say they are under attack from geoeconomics, innovation, transformation [often a function of technology] and affected by a reshaping of the global regulatory landscape. Against this backdrop,
Innovation – Transformation – Mindset sets out to provide a framework to fundamentally rethink how innovation and transformation need to be approached — for both existing and new players in the global capital markets ecosystem — to achieve and maintain growth in a world of constant flux.
Innovation – Transformation – Mindset originated from a simple yet pertinent question: what do I need to know at the onset of a journey into digital assets and asset agnostic infrastructure to prevail and make a contribution towards reshaping global capital markets — a journey which is plagued by uncertainty and a plethora of scenarios that could play out with significantly different payoffs.
Innovation – Transformation – Mindset outlines how TRADFI/ DEFI, CRYPTO and AI could reshape global capital markets and discusses the use of innovation and transformation to help financial institutions define and realize their corporate ambitions over time against the headwinds of corporate and personal inertia, political, regulatory and economic uncertainty, structural ambiguity and cognitive dissonance.
